Description
Danae Horst's Houseplants for All is a beautiful guide to selecting and growing the right plants for your home, complete with a plant profile quiz!
Turn over a new leaf with Houseplants for All, and actually keep all your plant babies happy and healthy. Use the plant profile quiz to easily find your perfect match instead of picking up whatever catches your eye at the store and hoping that it'll survive your home and lifestyle. Whether you're always busy and can't remember to water, get unobstructed natural light all day, or live in the shadow of a skyscraper, a tropical oasis or arid winter-land, there is a plant that'll thrive with you.
After finding the right plants for your home, this book will help you to master plant care, complete with projects and tips for which containers work best, the best plants for small places, how to live together with pets and plants, and solutions to problems like pests, root rot, and lack of nutrients. Whether you're an experienced plant parent or have never owned anything other than a fake ficus, this book is the perfect guide for happy plants in your home.

Been gardening for over 40 years and let me tell you, I learned so much information from this book (some new, some reminders) that I will have to have a copy for my private library. But my suggestion to you is borrow a copy first from your local library (if they don’t have one, ask them to purchase a copy). I’m certain that any serious gardener will want to own their own copy.
Information contained reminded me why my aloe plant didn’t make it as well as my prayer plant. I have over 15 potted plants but only 4 species. From this book I now see the value of having pots on a pebble tray as well as using cache pots, which I never heard of before. I downloaded the Light Meter app on my iPhone to help with detecting the types of light in various rooms in my home where the plants are located. There is so much more details included that made me so enthusiastic about owning this book.
I received an advanced reader copy from NetGalley in exchange for my volunteer review.

Absolutely loved this book! Though there are others with more plant profiles, this one is great because of the absolutely beautiful pictures, the quizzes, and the clear explanations. Easy to understand, it really is a beginner's guide.
